Step-by-Step Fix

1

Manual Install

Download the update file and run it as administrator instead of using an auto-updater.

2

Uninstall Old Version

Completely remove the old driver before trying to install the new one.

Check Disk Space

Ensure you have enough room to download and extract the update files.

When to See a Technician

Firmware updates (like for a battery or SSD) are critical but risky; ensure you are plugged into power.
